325 Gold Street: Cashing in on Oro Part Deux

I hope the owner does not cave to developers by selling this concrete cast building for a hi-rise. But fix the clock, for chrissake, I like working clocks, and hold on to this landmark.

I believe that 325 is owned by the developer of the Oro towers.

I live in this neighborhood. Right now we have nothing. There was once a pizza joint (Tasty's), bar (brooklyn cafe), a large grocery store, a liquor store, a chinese food spot, a mexican food spot, and a place to do your laundry. All of those things have been knocked down for condos. It would have been nice if they put something a little more useful in this building.

12:21. I agree with you. I live in the neighborhood as well and we really need some people to open some stores around here. A grocery and Dry cleaners would be a good start. I hope that my building gets some good retail on the ground floor.

It's the sales office for 150 Myrtle. The building is not owned the Oro developers.

Man, I'm bummed. I've been walking past that corner for weeks hoping it was going to be a Duane Reade or grocery store (and yes, with a six pack or two available for purchase). Sales office? Eff that.

I was in the building recently. Instead of Son of Oro, it will be a luxury Hilton that will be built there. The developers got a deal that was too good to turn down.

Not sure what is going to go in that spot, but I doubt that they are installing models of hotel rooms.

Also- rumor has it that Whole Foods will be moving into one of the nearby building to accommodate for the new tenants.
